Minkah Fitzpatrick requesting trade

what are your thoughts on this? It would make sense for multiple reasons, I just don't see how they could make it work with their current Cap situation, unless they traded a vet and not just picks (and I would assume Miami wants picks, not vets).

reasons it makes sense:
1. injuries and suspensions this year: Mack out indefinitely. Hill suspended until week 9. Hughes coming off an ACL tear.
2. contracts for next year: I could be wrong, but I believe Mack, Trae, Kearse, Harris are all FA in 2020. Sounds like this Fitzpatrick is versatile so could provide a lot of insurance.

It is intriguing but I just don't see it working with our cap situation.

As a side note, what a disaster in Miami. I get "tanking" and getting rid of aging vets that won't be part of the rebuild. But why dump good young players??? I don't know, maybe they want to hire a new GM in the offseason or something, and want to give him as much flexibility as possible??

I'm not in favor of this.

Fitzpatrick is a great player. I love the way he plays. But I love our safeties just as much.

Also, the Dolphins' asking price is going to be steep. We've got other draft needs that are much more pressing than safety.

For me, it's a pass.
